Pros
The people are great. Everyone is friendly and genuinely wants projects to go well and the company to succeed. Benefits are pretty good for a company of this size. Compensation is pretty competitive for Austin. Location downtown is great. Good work-life balance. Dedicated to diversity and inclusion. Managers really care about their direct reports and our personal growth and development. One of Built in Austin's Best Places to Work.
Cons
Tech stack holds us back. We all know we need to update and work down the tech debt. It is a moving target and we are always chasing it. This slows down development and limits our ability to be creative with new features. Some previous employees with decision making power held us back with their strong opinions and unwillingness to compromise. Things are reorganizing and getting better, but it's a slow process. Because of this there has been a lot of attrition which compounds the problem. We have been hiring quite a lot to make up for the losses so the onboarding also takes time.
